Jimmy Didn’t Understand
by Lord R.e. Taylor
The child was about three years old
Not even old enough for school\
But he knew his Mommy and Daddy were good people
They would never, ever harm him
But one day he found a new “toy”
Daddy must have been playing with it
Sadly, that day he forgot to put it away
Little Jimmy knew how to play with it
He had seen Daddy playing with it before
He knew just how to hold like Daddy did
Daddy wasn’t home but Mommy was
Jimmy was holding his new toy
Mommy let out a scream
The toy exploded with a loud crack
And Mommy fell to the floor
Jimmy tried to wake her but she was going
She looked at him and said, “I love you”
He really had no idea what he had done
He just knew that Mommy was sleeping
Jimmy was sad as she “slept”
He couldn’t understand that she would never wake up again
Hopefully Daddy will still love him when he gets home
After all, it was not little Jimmy’s fault
